Cross It Off The List: Gilberto Gil in Concert

Monday, March 15, 2010 / Posted by PageOne / comments (4)


Last night, we double-dated with Eric and Emily to Gilberto Gil's Acoustic (String) Trio at UNC's Memorial Hall.  Gilberto is arguably Brazil's most famous singer/songwriter. He has been recording for over 4 decades and co-founded the Tropicalia genre in the late sixties.

Initially, while excited, I was hesitant to get my hopes up.  Over the last 5 years, I've pulled from Mr. Gil's catalog again and again. I'd set a mental reference of how he should sound and (somehow) perform.  In the end, I was not disappointed in the least.  I'd honestly have to say that it was one of the best performances I've seen.  He sounded wonderful: sharp, both vocally and musically.  He exuded charisma and humility.  After the performance, Eric summed it up well, " That was amazing. It was one of those experiences where you knew how special it was as it was happening."

If you haven't heard Gilberto's music, make your way to your local music shop. Here's a sip from his 1971 album:

PDUB: HB, CA

Friday, March 12, 2010 / Posted by PageOne / comments (0)


Artist and friend-extraordinaire, Mr. Duane Fernandez, is currently visiting our old stomping grounds of Hermosa Beach, CA.  While having lunch at Los Muchachos, he came across a PDUB sticker placed about 5 years ago.  Duane produced these stickers from a stencil he made shortly after Powell "PDUB" Williams was killed by a drunk driver in March of 2005. For both of us, he was as close of a friend as you could have. He is no less missed today as the day he left us. 

In honor of Powell, Corrina and I are volunteering and walking with MADD in Raleigh, NC on March 20th.  We'd love for you to join us! If you're able, we'd greatly appreciate a donation to support a charity so dedicated in ending these daily (and avoidable) tragedies.  Please visit Corrina's MADD page for more information.

This is one of my favorite sequences taken this season. I love setting the camera on the floor, aiming up & firing away. The power of this slam and the sheer size of the Dean E. Smith center comes across quite well here.

Here is the 2nd mix from WTW#4. It's available for download as a zip file. It's mixed together, so you should set it as a "gapless" album when you import it to your iTunes.  The cover images for both the mixes are 6X6 so they should fit a standard CD case. Enjoy.

Past Mixes REposted: GROWN Mix (January 2008)

Here is a mix I made strictly for moi. It's a blend of rock: southern, classic, country, and folk. Overall, pretty mellow. I made it a bit before Cadence was born.  At the time, I had been listening to music that I was exposed to growing up in North Carolina.  Some of the songs were actual ones that I remember being played around the  house, while others are numbers I've found later that are in a similar vein.  I wonder if the music I'm playing today will leave a profound impression on Cadence.  I hope so... better than the junk currently played on mainstream radio stations.  See I am getting old and bitter!

Anyway, it's available for download as a zip file. Love it or hate it, it's all one track blended together.  I kinda like that format for the iPod.  Anyway... enjoy.

While home sick most of last week, I got around to putting together a mix. It does reflect the season's change from fall to winter, and the songs chosen were probably influenced by the way I felt.  Not to say that it is a downer of a compilation, although that's just where I was coming from.  Anyway, it's in a mellow vein with acoustic and soft synth stylings. It's a contemporary version of the Grown Mix (also available) from a year or so ago. The tracks selected were also ones that I felt Corrina would enjoy even if she had never heard them.  It's one long track, which I happen to like for mixes on the iPod. Oh yeah, Coco liked the mix. So... take a sip of the juice or go ahead and download the whole thing. Tracklist is in the comments. Leave a critique, please. Enjoy!

If I May Recommend Some Valentine's Soul

Sunday, February 14, 2010 / Posted by PageOne / comments (0)


Last year about this time, I had put together a Valentine's Day Mix for my lady friend (aka my wife), but this time I decided to suggest two solid soul Lp's, one a bit harder to find than the other.  Different in scope and arrangement, Issac Hayes' "Hot Buttered Soul" and William DeVaughn's "Be Thankful for What You've Got" are both well worth your time.  Enjoy a sample of each:

We're planning on an Outer Banks trip in March.  I really would like a rooftop tent for the Land Cruiser.  I figure it pays itself off after a few nights of camping vs. paying for a hotel.  That's decent logic, right?

I took many a picture this snowy weekend, but Firefox crashed as I was uploading them.  I don't have the patience to do it again right now, so here's one of Stanley. While he kills it in the snow and ice, I think he was just happy to stretch his legs a bit in 4WD.
